Abstract

Sustainable food security according to the mandate of the village SDGs is one of the very strategic village-based programs. Wantilan Village through the village-owned business entity (BUMDES) has a business related to food security with the principle of a circular economy that utilizes and processes organic waste. Compost and organic granules are then used for hybrid corn farming. Hybrid corn and maggots are then processed into feed for chicken farms. The problems faced related to this business are related to the availability of human resources both in quantity and quality so that production stagnation occurs. The purpose and objectives of this activity are related to the assistance provided to the BUMDES managers with the aim of increasing the knowledge of BUMDES business managers in terms of production, financial management, to product marketing, and increasing the production of organic granules and animal feed. The methods used in this assistance are the focus group discussion and learning by doing methods. The results obtained showed a significant increase in participant knowledge, especially for financial management and marketing, reaching 100%, generally mastering the aspects asked in both the pretest and post test. Meanwhile, for production operators, the increase in knowledge was only 25% because there were many new operators. Then, related to production activities, there was an increase in production of both organic granules and animal feed by 25%.
